Looking for informed conjecture from other DUers how likely do you think it is that well have another Federal govt. shutdown this fall?
Supposedly there has been some effort to keep us from going over a fiscal cliff, and maybe the Republicans appetite for this kind of cruel melodrama has diminished. But there is an appropriations fight looming, and I dont trust them at all to negotiate in good faith.
I confess, my reason for asking is partly selfish we have an October family trip planned to the Southwestern U.S., which will be considerably less fun if national parks & monuments are closed to the public. Plans B and C include trips to state parks and more citified activities.
Found the sources below anybody have better information to share?

A cool place that will be open is Goblin Valley State Park in Utah, and it's right next to some of the best Canyoneering in the San Rafael Swell. Showers!
